Now the *** "opt out" page for Family Tree Now won't "find the server" or whatever it needs to do to opt me out of posting all the information about me. I am livid! In this day and age when we have child predators all around us, thieves, murderers, etc., how can any...

Same problem here, except there's just no opt out button at all, and clicking the opt out page link just goes around in a circle.

Familytreenow Website Review
Baffles my mind how this website is legal! Personally I've had some kid harass and threatened me so when I discovered this disturbing website the first thing I felt was chilling fear that he could find not only my address but also my relatives address so quickly! How irresponsible of this website!!! I'm furious

Familytreenow - Website Review
Companies like this endanger Domestic violence victims, rape victims, other crime victims, witnesses etc. Plus they make identity theft a heck of alot easier for criminals. No information like this should be available to ANYONE!! I never provided or allowed the use of private information to anyone!!

It's all public record... This is the most basic of databases... Just some names you're commonly associated with and any address you've registered anywhere... Just public record. I don't see any personal info... They're not giving out phone numbers and bank account info, or social security numbers... Your birthday is most likely publicly posted on facebook. People sign up for websites and happily put all their personal info into databases worldwide, but then wanna cry when that same info is pushed into one place at the same time. Lol go sit down and eat a cracker, you need much more info than this to be dangerous.

I have tried several times to opt out of FTN, but the "I am not a robot" box on the opt out page won't toggle even after three times restarting the program. I believe it has been removed to keep people from opting out. I have tried to contact FTN to check it out, but...

I agree...I was shocked at what they had on me. a Police Officer alerted me to it and it even had my dead Mom's info on it and would not let me opt out...this is scary. I am going to go to the FBI and see if they can help

This site gives the identity thieves all of your personal information. The personal information that they are able to obtain from this site without your consent is really unethical to say the least. The sire offers such information as current address, past address...

It's All Legal
Come on, people. Family Tree Now only posts what information is already out there on the internet. This is legal information commonly posted on other web sites. This is our new society. Everything you see is readily available online thru other sources. Family Tree Now collects those sources and posts the gathered info. In this day and age, you have to live "off the grid" to avoid having your name, address, phone number and age posted online. This is not an invasion of privacy; it is the new reality of an open society. It's all legal.

Family Tree Now--interesting and useful
Found the site informative. All these snowflake complainers need to realize the info they are complaining about FTN posting can be found over the Internet doing general searches. Seriously, if you don't want anyone to know anything about you, don't buy anything, return anything, drive, vote, do banking, have a credit card, no phone, no newspaper subscription. And add avoiding going to the doctor because they all have to input your medical history into a database. I have found names, phone numbers, family members, obituaries, criminal records, all public and searchable. You would have to live like a fur trapper in the 1700's to remain completely private in today's world.

This is infuriating! Most of our info is out there whether we like it or not, but this gives it all, unpaid.
There were relatives listed I don't even know and associates. Aside from alot of inaccurate information, it is a violation of privacy and a safety concern. To opt out, find your info and copy the entire URL (make sure you get it all). Go to Contact Us link at bottom of page and click on it, filling in the info and pasting the URL.
Be sure to click that you are not a robot (LOL). Then click submit.
You will get a confirmation. I just hope all this attention to this site isn't a bigger scam to get your email.
Absolutely AGREE!!!!! I can't believe OUR physical address & a photo of our home is on this site!
OPT OUT immediately!
Thanks for asking for our opinions first!
All the "people" (no doubt employees) saying it's all already out there - wrong. At least not in a free site with one click and get someone's life history - addresses past and present, relatives, associates.
It is a stalker and ID theft dream site. There are places online, but it requires a lot more effort than this one-stop invasion of privacy.
I saw this on law enforcement group. This info should NO be so easily available!
As previously stated the opt out did not work so I emailed them.
We shall see what happens. I've posted on fb to make more people aware
